Func Industries was formed on 9/9/99 by
a small group of professionals working within the PC gaming industry, spending
most of their off work time playing games from all different genres. At that
time growth in competitive gaming had created an unprecedented demand for
mousing precision and, although mouse technology was advancing to accommodate
this demand, a large void existed in mousing surface technology.
It was
to fill this void that the sUrface1030 concept was first introduced. The
sUrface1030 was based on a scientific approach to mousing precision. Materials
and surface textures were selected that would maximize mousing performance and
improve gaming accuracy and features such as a cord clip and non-slip rubber
backing were incorporated to improve the user’s overall interaction with their
PC. The double-sided sUrface1030’s patent pending unique features and innovative
design went on to win awards from almost every major press entity in the
industry, including PC Gamer’s ‘Editors Choice’ award, Maximum PC’s ‘Kick Ass
Product’ award, Thresh’s FiringSquad ‘Editors Choice’ award, Gamespy’s Planet
Hardware ‘Editor’s Choice’ award, PCStats ‘Editor’s Choice’ award, and the
Gamer’s Depot ‘Drool’ award. The sUrface1030 continues to be popular with gamers
and professional computer users and has inspired a large number of similar
products from competitors.
